ooking at the bike you ride is a clue to the type of person you are
I have many bikes and 3 ebikes. So one individual who has many ebikes/analog bikes represents many different persons based on your FALSE assumption ??
Lmk how you find your way out of this one
I know you have no clue of Storck brand but just trying to educate you. A very agile 14lb analog bike. So, now i am different person !
Look, the point i am trying to point is this:
You could have chosen to ride a 15lb analog Pinarello for a 50mile ride or a 100mile ride.
Now you ride a 16lb+12lb (the motor/battery) , b/c you believe that you may feel tired close to the end of the ride, thus needing that assist. Also the qfactor is much wider leading to issues with the knees.
But what will make you mostly tired in the 1st place is pedaling NON assist that additional 12lb weight. You can't pedal it in PAS the while time b/c you will have limited range. Can't charge it fast either b/c is a small AH battery. Tough choice...but it was a smart dealer who did the sale and smart marketing behind the product.
Sure, it feels like pedalling a normal Pina , but sooner or later you legs will tell you is not that svelte 14lb Pina

.
Even if it's a fully flat ride, at that moment you may believe you are not tired , but the next day or the day after you will feel it. This knowledge is from someone who trained people in cycling , did 75k miles + road riding, 300+races. I still ride the Storck, and have on a list the BMC AMP 1 with the Step E8000, 500wh. B/c that is what a road ebike should be.
But , enjoy the experience, if that is what makes you get going, i just wanted to point those clear aspects. The market is not lying. There are 6,7 threads about the Creo and 800+messages. And sold out. Or the other brands , BMC AMP maybe even better , the DOMANE+HP.
14lb reg. bike / 28lb Fazua ebike / 35-38lb b 500watts road ebike ??
To me, the one in the middle , doesn't make sense as far as purchasing it . Either an ebike that has the power to climb that rare 16%hill and has the range if needed or a light 12-15lb analog road bike.
